Tne most successful Christmas festival
and the one at which the largest number
of children at the Tabernacle were ever
made happy. was that of last Wednesday
night. TIE fact that almost thousand
| children were present with their parents,
guardians or friends, speaks well for the
passionate of Rev. John l.. Scudder. The
exercises consisted of the production OF
cantata entitled as Santa Claus's Home, or
The Christmas Excursion. The programme
was as follows:

form and, calling each officer of the school
to him. presented HIM with handsomely
bound volume of the Bible.
The festival of the SundGy-school of the
Park Reformed Church was held IN the
chapel last Wednesday evening. 1t proved
an event which fully appropriated the
mostisanguine anticipat1ons of the long ex
pectant children. There was no stint IN
the distribution of those things without
which, at least once year, no child or set
of children can be accorded happy and con-
tented The most happily surprised per-
son in the asseInblage was Musical Director
j. W. Black, who was the recipient OF
beautiful silk umbrella, the handle of
which was mounted with gold. The pro-
gramme opened with carol, arranged by
Mr.. Black and sung by the infant classes
as they marched down the aisles. Rev. J.
Howard Suydam made an address. The
infant class sang a chorus, and Misses
Fanny Harrison and Ida Buckbee recited.
A carol with solo parts by Misses Jessie
Black and Fannie Harrison and Muster
Charles Bamberger and Berthe Brown, was
nicely sung. Miss Emma FitZhenry re-
cited. A song by Master Willie Sweet, as
sisted by little misses from the infant class,
was vociferously applauded. The dona-
tons to the poor was by no means limited,
as each child was requested and did bring
some article of food to be devoted to that
purpose.
Christmas festivals were also held dur
ing the week at various churches; those of
the Sunday-schoels of the Lafayette Re-
Church, Emanuel Reformed Episcopal
Church, First Baptist Church, the Green
vile Reformed Church and the Greenville
NJ. E. Church OH Wednesday evening; and
those of the Emory and Grace NJ. E.
Churches on Thursday evening.

TWO DIEM THEIR BOOTS.
A Tragedy Results in the Death OF
Two Prominent Men.

CoUsHATTA, LA, April "A most
shocking tragedy took place here this
afternoon, resulting in the death of j..
Henry Scheen and j. Brown. Mr.. Brown
had become incenseG against III. A.
Cockerham, son-in-law OF MIR. scbeen,
on account of business troubles,
and had been seen on the
streets this afternoon inouirlng
for Mr.. Cockerham. Finding him at Mr.
Scheen's store pistols were drawn, and
they began firing upon each other. Mr..
Scheen received a bullet in the mouth,
which passed through and broke his aecS,
causing instant death. Mr.. Brown re-
ceived bullet in eacn arm, and after pro-
mscuous firing on both sides LEFT the
store. Young John IL. Scheen, seeing his
father shot down, seized a double
barreled shotgun loaded with duck
or turkey shot, aud fired upon the retreat
ing form OF MIR. Brown, who ran to the
store, about hundred yards distant, and
expired. A coroner's jury was called
and an investigation OF the facts COM
menced, but night coming on IL was adj
journed until Monday. John IL. Scheen
testified that he saw Mr.. Brown deliber-
ately shoot MS father. There is theory
that from the position of the parties when
firing that Mr.. Brown could not have
killed MIR. Scheen. j. Henry Scheen was
widely known in commercial circles.
Mr.. Brown has been planter in this
parish for many years.
